Ten Wardrobe Pieces Every Woman Must Have

If you had to attend an event at the last minute and didn’t have time to shop, would you have something appropriate to wear? If the answer is no, then it’s time to get prepared. There are certain essential items that every woman must have in her wardrobe if she wants to be properly dressed for any situation.

1. A Black Suit
A classic black suit in a seasonless fabric, which is usually worn at the office, can be worn separately or dressed up for after work parties. To transform your look from daytime to evening, start by changing your shoes, accessories and top to evening styles.

2. Black Leather Pumps
For the most versatility, buy black 2 ½ inch heel black pumps in soft leather. They will go with pants and skirts and will always be stylish.

3. White Shirt
A crisp white, stretch cotton shirt is very practical. It can be worn at the office with a suit, or casually with jeans. It matches every color and is easy to accessorize.

4. A Pair of Diamond Stud Earrings (or diamond imposters)
Buy them large or small – they look great on everyone. These earrings add instant glamour and can make a woman feel like a queen.

5. A Knee - Length Fitted Jacket
This jacket can be worn with skirts, pants and jeans. Buy it single-breasted in a neutral color.

6. Great Fitting Jeans
It might seem hard to believe but jeans can be flattering as well as comfortable. If you’re like most women you will have to try lots of pairs to find the perfect fit. The most flattering leg style is the boot cut – the leg is slim but not tight. A low rise (about 1 inch below the belly button) is the most flattering style for the tummy.

7. A Little Black Dress
The dress can be any style without any flashy details. A sheath is probably your best bet. You can wear it with a jacket for daytime or accessorize for evening with glitzy jewelry, shoes and accessories.

8. Sexy Undergarments
Start with a sexy bra that fits well. Your bra should lift and separate. Then add some panties in wild colors and designs. The thought of your undergarments will penetrate through to your subconscious and you will feel sexy.

9. Two great handbags
To complete your wardrobe you will need a great everyday bag that is well constructed, in a neutral color and stylish. You will also need an evening bag with glitz to add glamour instantly.

10. V - Neck Top
A v-neck top will go with skirts, jeans, pants and Capris. Buy at least one quality top in light weight cotton or a silk blend. Make sure it is in a color you like and matches your other clothes.
